What's this (I don't know a name)


You might say it's carrugated . . .

Or perhaps carduroy?

It's weird all right, but at the time it was made it must have looked quite futuristic!

OK, but the only questions asked are where the car was pictured and when; you should be able to glean that from what you've found?

No, not Venice Beach.
